About the game

What is Cities

Cities is a city-building game in which you draft the best projects and arrange them in your own playing area. With action and resource draft mechanisms, it will give you the opportunity to visit the cities of Sydney, Venice, New York, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires. Can you design the most magnificent neighborhood?

The game is played over eight rounds (or four rounds in a two-player game). Each round, players use their workers to collect 1 scoring card, 1 city tile, 1-2 feature tiles, and 2-4 building pieces. City tiles are made up of park spaces, water spaces, and building spaces. Building pieces are placed on building spaces of the same color to form buildings, which can be 1-4 stories high. Whenever a player fulfills an achievement, they place one of their discs on the achievement board. At the end of the game, players add up the points they have gained from all of their scoring cards and achievements.

kesulin7/10

Juego familiar con algo más. Me ha parecido un poco complicado para jugar con los niños pero demasiado simple para jugar con el grupo de jugones.

trotamor9/10

Juego de colocación de losetas con creación de patrones muy interesante. Duración correcta y puzzle entretenido. Viene con varias ciudades lo cual aumenta la rejugablidad, ya que cada una de ellas hará que tu estrategía sea una u otra. Lo que menos me ha gustado son los objetivos individuales, se repiten bastante por lo que te obliga a coger los repetidos para maximizar puntos. Por precio, componentes y todo...un must en tu ludoteca.
